Ok, so I think the rubbery knees of Destro v29 (from the Eagle's Edge "outnumbered" pack from 2014) are the main downfall of the figure overall. It's a great sculpt with good proportions. The gun falls apart, sure, and it has rocker ankles that I don't care for, but I can fix that. It's just those darn knees that have to be addressed to make this figure work for my needs.
Has anyone here replaced the knees with something better/stronger from another figure that fit pretty well? If so, what did you use and how much modding did it require? Post pics if you have 'em!

I used the legs of v21.
I just put the lower part of the right leg and the whole left leg. |

I also use the 25th Destro IG lower legs...I feel they look the best to me out of all the choices.

I like that!!! Can you show a side view? Can he extend his knee all the way?

He's in storage,but the knee articulation is fine. I prefer this method so he looks like a total modern update of his classic ARAH version.

Yep, that's the approach I'm aiming for. The outright leg replacement is effective but not really what I'm going for. Thanks for the posts so far guys. If anyone else has a knee suggestion please post up!
